E 560 Remodeling Improved Streets

Basically, a street may be reestablished (in whole or in part) by means of resurfacing the existing pavement section or reconstructing a new one. Resurfacing and reconstruction projects are generally limited to the pavement and gutter. Where it is necessary to raise or lower the flow line, the change is made only to an extent that permits the curbs to remain undisturbed. Where grades of R-percent or less are encountered, concrete gutters should be constructed as part of the project. The following material will serve as a guide to determine whether the project should be resurfaced, reconstructed, or both. It will also provide the basic design criteria that should be followed once the type of improvement is decided upon. See Figures E 660A, B, and C.
